PipelineTheWeb

Introduction

I started playing with pipelining web services with PipeFilters, and later with RssDisplay and GoogleToRSS (with more to come). I've come to realize that not only am I not alone in wanting to make the web my command line shell, but that there is so much more going on here than I even could have guessed.

Watch this space. This is the real mind bomb I've been thinking about, not just PipeFilters.
